A three day workshop in a powerful combination of deep process painting and collaborative dream work with Majio, mixed media artist and facilitator of dream work and creative process, and Marsha Hudson, dream worker, writer, and teacher. In this workshop you will experience the exhilaration of discovering a soul making task through the illumination of dream work and painting, all in the supportive embrace of the community. This, and subsequent workshops, offers a pilgrimage into soul through encountering the creative interplay of our dreams and our creative, art making selves.

No experience in art or painting is required or recommended in this safe and freeing atmosphere of trust and playful expression. Like the images of dreams the paintings arise for healing, integration and guidance to empower participant and community.

Friday, February 8, 6:00-9:00: A workshop vision and initiation into the pilgrimage.

Saturday, February 9, 9:00-4:00: The Threshold: Painting into a community dream, dream image embodiment, reflection and writing.

Sunday, February 10, 10:00-3:00: The Soul Task: Dream work and painting into a personal dream image, and workshop close.

This the first in a series of three workshops to bring the initiate through the three phases of the pilgrimage: February 8-10, Over the Threshold, March 22-24, On the Path, and May 10-12, The Arrival.

Fee: $260 for each weekend or early bird special two weeks prior, $225 and $25 materials fee which includes art materials and digital photos of paintings stages. All three weekend package deal for $600 before Jan. 25th plus $75 materials fee.

Marsha Hudson has studied projective dream work with Jeremy Taylor and somatic dream work with Robert Bosnak. She is a member of the Association for the Study of Dreams (ASD) and follows its code of ethics. Marsha Hudson is also a trained gestalt practitioner, an approach to personal growth that is present centered and that emphasizes awareness and the inherent wisdom of each person. This training enhances working with dreamers one-on-one as well as in the group setting.
Her background in literature, languages, and culture has given her powerful tools for dreamwork. She earned her Ph.D. in comparative literature from UC Berkeley. Her B.A. combined cultural anthropology and comparative literature. She knows ancient Greek, has studied both Greek and Latin literatures, and is well versed in the myths and legends of western culture.

Majio’s study of over a decade of the cultural arts in Japan deeply formed her approach to art and meaning making. Her interest in mixed media is nurtured by apprenticeships in ceramics, paper making and folk lacquer ware and fabric dyeing. Traditional Japanese cultural arts such as tea ceremony and calligraphy as well as a black belt in aikido influence her aesthetics as well as her approach to the creative process.
She has a MA in Creation Spirituality from Naropa University and a certificate to facilitate dreamwork from Marin Institute for Projective Dreamwork. She is co-director of Anavami Center for Mastering the Art of Life in Santa Cruz, CA which is committed to creating health and wholeness in the individual and community by building self-empowering skills in creativity, self-expression, communication and meaning making through art, metaphor work and dream work.
